Frank (aka HalleysComet), I see no reason why you have to defend your choice. If it sounds better (for you), than it's the way to go (for you). Period.
I second rydenfan here. That reminds me a couple of real interviews I heard:"I have't read the book, but it's bad, I will not read it and I recommend you not to read it too". Don't make yourself look ridiculous (at least). Let's get back to the subject. I have a couple of questions to those who have heard both the stock and modded Transporter. o- Frank, you mentioned that the stock TS sounds(-ed) more detailed. Could you please elaborate? Do you hear less details now? Are they masked by the noise floor? o- Any differences in the sound stage? E.g. sources placement, the air between them, depth/width, etc. o- Did the stock TS sound brighter than the modded one? Did you notice any sibilance? o- Can you compare the dynamics? o- Frank, what does the rest of your system look like? o- Can anybody with a digital camera make some photos of the internals of their modded by Dan TS? I have an Anthony's modded Transporter. This is what I noticed: o- Extremely detailed, revealing, cold and analytical. Probably too revealing and analytical (like the rest of my system). Too often it shows how bad the recordings are. Not how good the music is. o- A bit on the bright side. Hot records will sound stingingly HOT. Sibilants are a bit exaggerated. o- Good dynamics and very low noise floor. You can clearly hear the sound decays. o- Pinpoint sound staging. o- It never sounds messy even during complex passages. o- The images are thin with not enough "meat" and body. (ML Ascent feature?) So, I'm wondering if I can get the best out of two worlds and let my Anthony modded TS be modified by Dan. Also, it's recommended to pair Logans with tubes. Alex Peychev's mods (though it sounds very interesting) are a no-go for me since his design is non-balanced and I have a fully balanced system. -- alekz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ alekz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13574 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43269 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
